attendance

Fair Director Mark Wolfe today announced attendance for the 2015 Missouri State Fair.  Final numbers for the 11-day event confirm that 352,888 people attended this year’s Fair.

Attendance at this year's Illinois State Fair is down about 9 percent from last year during a week of frequent rain.

Attendance at Missouri state parks rose by roughly a quarter-million people last year. Authorities say more than 18 million people visited the parks last year — the fourth consecutive year of increases.
